Custom command only running a few times when getting 20,000+ results

I have a custom command that I call that populates a lookup but when I run the command, it only runs the script 5-20 times (it changes every time) while getting 20,000+ results. I'm wanting to run a query that sends the information into a custom script, to then populate a lookup, almost as if it's recursive. I'm thinking this is a performance issue of the script (it is a Python script so it's not the fastest). This is an example command of what it looks like: 

index="*" host="example.org"
| map search="| customcommand \"$src$\""
